THE REFLEKTORS

Seeing Arcade Fire (as 'The Reflektors') in such a small venue was a rare and unforgettable experience. I'd already seen them live a few years ago at an amphitheater, so I knew what a great show they put on, but this was on another level. The experience itself was like a party, which included face painting, the smashing of an iphone shaped piñata that was filled with candy and condoms, glitter and confetti raining down on the crowd, and a dance party following the show DJed by Win Butler himself. Just an all-around amazing show, the first for the band in Florida.

I was 2 people back from being in the front. First time seeing them play live. Was not disappointed. Although I actually enjoyed the 2nd show at Little Haiti Cultural Center more.

As one of the top bands of the time the time, the hype and buildup to this secret event was huge. Dispite the trick played on the crowd with a false stage which crushed a LOT of people, the evening was a great one with the new music from REFLEKTOR being immediately likable. The one bummer was the crowd who bood Win Butler for saying the band will not play again, which led to the band not coming out and mingling with the crowd as promised

This was my third time seeing the band and by far the least enjoyable. The whole idea of the event was a very cool idea and the location was great, but their performance was so so. They played slightly over an hour with no encore. I've seen bands not do an encore, but they put the house lights on when they are done, not just keep people waiting in the dark for them to come back on. The most obnoxious thing was when Win Butler came out to say to the audience he didn't know why they were still there, the band was done playing. Like we were supposed to read his mind and know that already. He then invited us to a DJ set, Oh Boy! During the show there were other remarks like Win informing us that he gave us a $500 gift for playing in a smaller venue, again such humility. Also the idea of changing stages was a really nice thing to do to the fans that waited in line for hours, greatly I was not one of them. The hour they did play was very good, but certainly not mind blowing like they had been in the previous times I have seen them. Honestly I think if they just did a couple of more songs from their back catalog it would have been a home run. So in less then a decade this band seems to already be full of themselves. That's a shame that it is happening so quickly.

Truly, how often do you get to see a band that plays arenas play in a tiny warehouse in Brooklyn that only holds 3000 people? The show was incredible. My only regret was not being familiar with most of the new songs since the album hadn't been released yet. I would've loved to been able to sing along with everything. But, hey, reread my first sentence... this was a once in a lifetime event.

They opened with Reflektor and didn't let up until the night was over. An amazing show from an amazing band whose songs, talent, lyrics and live performance are among the best from the vast array of music I listen to and shows I attend. Would have been nice to hear some more songs from The Suburbs but I can't complain since I've been waiting to see this band live for about 5-6 years. Not really into the Halloween spirit so I'm not sure why they wanted people to dress up in costume or formal attire. I wore a tie and a jacket but would have been more comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt. However, I did see it wasn't some pretentious scheme to make people look funny: they are requiring the same thing in their Europe shows which is out of context and therefore worthwhile to abide by the requirement.

Everything was incredible. From the re-show limo entrance to the synchronized dance routine to the mid show piñata confetti song transition. This was by far the most entertaining concert I've ever been to. The band sounded flawless as always.

The Reflektors were incredible live!! As this was their first time playing in one of the cultural capitals of the U.S., a show here for this incredible band was long overdue. It was nice to get a close, intimate experience of the band in a club setting, as opposed to the arena shows of bands such as Radiohead and Arcade Fire. The music was adapted incredibly well for the live show, with great use of rhythmic percussion and vocals by Win and Regine. Highlights include Reflektor, Afterlife, Here Comes the Night Time and Supersymmetry. They also played some cover songs from critically acclaimed band, Arcade Fire; including Power Out, Sprawl II and Haiti. Overall a fun and exciting 2 nights in Miami! Excited for the new direction of this band and the record! Hope they get recognized and come back to Miami soon! I hear a worldwide tour is in the works.

This band is one if a kind! So personable with the fans! One of the best concerts of my life! Such and honor to see this band in such an intimate setting!

Great concert in a very cool venue. Nice to see everybody dressed up. Venue was way too hot at the end of the concert though.

What a great show ! Love these guys...so nice to see them in such a small venue !

Awesome crowd and band! Everything I hoped it would be!

Best time I've ever had. New songs are great. Great energy in crowd. Lots of dancing. Super fun.

One of the best shows I have been to yet! They played an entire set of new songs plus some oldies. Arcade fire (or should I say The Reflektors) are such fun performers and put in an amazing show. It was really fun to dress up and be a part of a crowd of dedicated fans. I can't wait for their nationwide tour to see them again!

Arcade Fire came out and went down the line before the concert then they even danced around in the crowd before they went on stage! The music was AMAZING and their performance is up there with the best I've seen!!

FANTASTIC!! Arcade Fire is the best rock band playing now a days.

Just incredible!!! This was a big party. And you can tell that The Reflektors aka Arcade Fire just wanted to have fun!

Experienced opportunity to see Arcade fire in small venue with low capacity. I'm sure their stadium shows are also a treat, but absolutely loved the chance to see them closer to their crowd. Loved it!

The Arcade Fire aka The Reflektors put on the most amazing show I've ever been to- it was more of an experience than anything else. All the people in costumes, the warehouse location, it all felt like something out of a movie. And the band put on a sick show. Their new material is killer.

This was THE best event I've ever been to. Not exaggerating.

Words cant describe how absolutely amazing Saturday night was. They put on such a thoughtful, fun, beautiful, dream-like night that I will be forever grateful that I was able to be there. I cant wait for their new album to come out!!!

Amazing, small intimate venue once in a lifetime opportunity!

One of the best shows of the year. So happy I got presale tkts.

Waited 3.5hrs at the front lines of a FAKE stage. Was very mad when they appeared on the opposite side of the room. If I hadn't been waiting so long maybe I wouldn't be so mad, but it took them way too long to finally begin their 1 hour performance (which was still excellent.) My night was solely ruined for that one little stunt they pulled. I hope no one has to go through something like that ever again.

Probably the worst show I'll ever go to. So I take off from work, and wait in line for hours to get the perfect spot beneath the stage. The doors open and I run right to the rail. What a great spot right? Wrong. After much delay James Murphy comes out and says something about Arcade Fire not being here. A curtain to my left and behind drops and "The Reflektors" start playing. There is a mad dash to the second stage and in something that fortunately didn't end like the time The Who tried the same stupid stunt, I am now at the worst possible spot for the show, all the way in the back. Win jokes about how they thought it was funny, which made me even more mad because it was a jerk move and a real slap in the face to the die-hards who dedicated a lot of time to getting a good spot. I see only backs of heads as I pray each song is the last. Finally they finish after a whopping ten songs and walk off the stage, no thank you, no good night. Win comes back and says some more stupidity about a fat kid with BO but by that point I was already pushing my way to the door. $45 dollars right in the toilet.

Simply one of the best events of my life. The band was amazing, the atmosphere sublime and the people were great.

Amazing show. PERFECT venue for them. Loved hearing the new material AND a few Arcade Fire "cover" songs. What a night!

The Reflektors are Arcade Fire are The Reflektors. A handful of Arcade Fire songs were played, but it was mostly new material - some easier to catch on to than others. It was a great experience, though - giant warehouse full of Arcade Fire fans, dressed in formal or costume or face-painted by Arcade Fire-paid artists. Won't happen again.

Absolutely Amazing show - best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arcade Fire put on a terrific show. They reinvent themselves again with the new - highly electronic - Reflektor album and they do it well. Not that you'd expect anything else. They played to crowd nicely and stuck around for quite a while mixing with the fans afterwards. A great experience

Very short set for amount of money paid. Was disappointed

What started out as an incredible party ended in an insult and a ripoff.
